Some places are remembered by what used to stand there
Look down.
On the floor,
a rectangle of old tape
has darkened at the edges.
Something stood there once—
a table,
a fan,
a sign no one needs now.
The object is gone.
The mark stays.
Dust gathers around the shape
as if respecting it.
Shoes pass over,
but not enough to erase it.
Places keep these quiet diagrams—
small leftover directions,
the geometry of use,
what was needed once
and then simply moved away.
